WITNESS - Fishnet lyrics
rate meWhen luck be a lady in a district of red lights<br />
Truth be a whisper in a concert of dead mics<br />
I said right, options are limited<br />
Got a predicament<br />
Let me stop and think a bit and figure out who witness is? Who?<br />
The one who masqueraded as a man of steel<br />
What?<br />
Behind the curtains he sips on his chamomile<br />
While dancing on banana peels a cancer that he can't reveal would cancel<br />
Any chance he had to stand upon his damaged heels<br />
The xanax pills killed the panic till he managed real feelings for once<br />
Dumping depression for the prom queen<br />
He builds an arc with a head above water, sorting disorders and interpretations<br />
Of what this song means<br />
<br />
At 16 I learned it isn't difficult to six step<br />
17 I learned a girl can rip a soul to fishnet<br />
18 I learned that all my rituals were mislead<br />
At 20 they're surprised I haven't tried to slit my wrists yet<br />
<br />
Well don't hold your breath baby cause I found a cure<br />
That Buddhist monks scale the Himalaya mountains for<br />
The clouds are torn in half and shattered to dust and I'm scattering cups of<br />
Ashes<br />
Where the passion had rust<br />
And as a sapling I but a catholic looking for my Nazareth and nowadays I<br />
Couldn't get raise if I was Lazarus<br />
That ain't the half of it, adjectives couldn't capture it<br />
The cat that searched a sea of asterisks to find a Capulet.<br />
I'm not happy yet.<br />
They said Chill<br />
Love it or leave it<br />
I said fuck it I will<br />
Cuz I heard that blood and oil sound the same when they're spilled<br />
Kind of like the promises from those who claim to rebuild<br />
It's a revival of diving with eyes closed<br />
Jesus saves! (on insurance switching to Geico)<br />
My soul is Mister Clean, my health is nicotine<br />
My life is depicted through Precious Moments Figurines<br />
<br />
I skipped hovering over the porcelain goddess<br />
The unfortunate product of the modern portrait of college<br />
With feminine templates while living at Penn State<br />
They're getting an F grade whenever she menstruates<br />
I was busy paying the dues to become an artist<br />
When my friends were busy cutting the rug and munching the carpet<br />
And that's fine, but after an album of wack lines<br />
I decided to make this music more than a past time<br />
Too many alchemists have miscounting the calculus<br />
Or Stumbled on a power trip or showed the crowd their cowardice<br />
Staying alive in a do or die world.<br />
Where clarity is cable and angels are suicide girls</
